Hi Cooliegirly

Maybe a beehive or an ant colony?

Hi cooliegirly,

How about hub? Or if it's a disorganised municipality - hubbub?

Ah, I see! By the way, why do city populations always get compared to insects? Crying or Very sad

Cool

I don't know, Cooliegirly. I thought of insects because both sorts of "insect municipalities" exist right outside my house. Laughing

What about Alan's idea of a hub?

What about this forum as a sort of "online municipality"?

What about the internal computer network in a company?

Do any of those catch your fancy? Laughing
